Systemd cgroups ticket back at it again

You all make a most excellent application, I use it daily as of this past month and used to use it long ago. There was a bug that plagued XPRA for about 2 years it seemed and it related to systemd changes. This month I have noticed this problem on every fresh install (from your APT repository) on over 10 devices just this week alone. My platforms are Ubuntu, Debian, LinuxMint, (and HeliumBL actually). My installation process is simple:

If that doesn't prove to yield anything as shown above, I then borrow the following information I found in a previous systemd ticket on GitHub and apply the "fix", though this is most certainly not from my understanding a very good solution and should only be done to personal machine and not within production environments...

Thanks, let me know if there's a missing dependency or something you want me to test though I really feel like this is an XPRA bug as many of the systems I've tried this on were fresh installations and still encountered this bug.

I will attempt again on Linux Mint 19.3 and Ubuntu 18.10 (also Ubuntu 20.04 in May. (normally when they actually release a stable version....))

The workaround you've offered [--systemd-run=no] is actually something I've tried in the past, I will happily retry as my memory is not serving me well enough today to remember whether it worked for me. Additionally I appreciate your GitHub source fix from the FB GitHub Bot, my my Facebook has been helpful in software development lately (found anecdotally for my personal and work problems as of late).

This is a "feature" of Firefox and most browsers.

Oh darn, I appreciate the information. I'll be sure to not run Firefox normally on the account used before an XPRA server start command is issued then.

Thank you for your time and support on this matter, once again you and the XPRA team make a great project. The only reason why I wanted to submit this ticket was because this was the fifth or sixth machine that I had tried to install and run the server off of and it failed the first try on all of them.

One last question actually, do you know when the default apt repositories will have a newer version of XPRA? [bionic stable, buster main, other supported repositories etc etc]. The current version seems to be somewhere in the ~2.4 to ~2.6 ballpark depending on the distribution.
Thanks again!

Now that's a heck of a good demonstration about Distro Maintenance getting out of hand! I should do polling to graph some of my favourite applications! Also, this is part of the reason why my days of Homebrew on MacOS have endured with me on linux, packages like YouTubeDL can be compiled straight from GitHub? using HomeBrew? with version tracking, dependency resolution etc.
